Allah alone decides who has sinned and the punishment. Allah is gracious. If the heart was pure, intention was good and love was there, it is for us to leave the decision to Allah and not enforce the book.

^Everything is possible if you put effort. Religion is not meant to be a black and white thing. To this day I find it funny that we have "scholars" who make it a career to interpret a book and follow it by the letter. Nothing that you do in daily life is meant to be by the book. No one who does anything or makes anything can always do it by the book. Did God have a huge book in his hand with steps to create humans and Earth? Big fat no! It's principles that count, not blind faith.

We do not live in a time of innocence. If we switch off our brains entirely, we shall be doomed to serve demons.

Mosul, Iraq -- According to the Kurdish website Jebar.info up to 1000 men from the Yezidi Kurdish community of Mosul killed a teenager who's only crime was running away to marry a Muslim man whom she loved and converting to his religion.http://www.aina.org/news/20070425181603.htmAll this for marrying a Muslim of another sect, imagine if she would have married a Christian, hell would break lose over there.

Honor killing of Fadime Şahindal:

Fadime Şahindal (2 April 1975, Elbistan – 21 January 2002) was a Kurdish immigrant who moved to Sweden from Turkey at the age of seven. She was murdered by her father, Rahmi, in January 2002 in an honor killing. Her father was ultimately convicted of murder by a Swedish court and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Fadime Şahindal was opposed to her family's insistence on an arranged marriage, and instead selected her own boyfriend. At first she kept the relationship secret, but her father found out about it. Fadime then left her family and moved to Sundsvall, where her brother found her and threatened her.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fadime_Sahindal

what are you trying to prove?

not my fault that these people still live in the caveman era... not like Albania is the safest and most peaceful nation in the world.

What's your point?Honor killings have nothing to do at all with Islam, it is linked to the tribal and patriarchal culture in most of the MENA and south asian/central asian region, these practices predate Islam and most predominant among the rural & less educated people of these regions(though there are urbane/educated people mired in tribal customs), you can find cases of honor killings almost all over south asia(even among non-Muslims).

Now you might ask "if the Yezidis aren't Muslim, why did they murder a woman from their community for marrying out"The answer is, like explained above: The people of the MENA and South Asian/Central Asian region are mired in tribal customs, so it doesn't matter if they're atheist,satanist,christian,sikh,muslim or hindu they pretty much engage in the same tribal customs(though Levantine Christians are more Westernized), so blaming religion for this is incorrect.
